I have a lovely big new veggie bed and have planted all the old faves. Two
new items I wanted to try are cucumbers and beans.
I have some seedlings of the continental/burpless variety. What is the best
way to support them as they grow? They have been planted in a row.
Also I can't decide what beans to plant. Can anyone recommend some tasty
varieties? Easiest support for them to grow on?
Cheers

I have just started this year growing the 'burpless' cucumber and they are
happy growing up a homemade trellis of garden canes...
Have you tried growing bush beans? I have just had a bumper crop of beans
'Brown Beauty' im in Queensland. These dont require any support and grow
approx 60-80cm in height...
Happy Gardening!

French runner beans - yum !
Grew ours up on the fence, with help of stakes/wire/trellis - pretty
haphazard, just supporting as we went.
Never grown cuc's though .. but would be interested ... yum ( gotta get that
vege patch going ! :)

Cucumbers grow really well if you allow plenty of water for that crop.
Vegetables are going through the roof in the near future.
Time to start that patch....

Yep, exactly. My grocery bill is astronomical at the moment, and I buy
little crap/pre-packaged, lots of veg.
